Inadvertently Butchered

[jethrien]

I've got one story, an urban fantasy piece, making the rounds that has gotten comments that it's a bit too like the Dresden Files. Another one, a classic fantasy, just got rejected with the note that the sidekick is too similar to Bob the Skull.

The really annoying thing? I wrote both of these before I ever read a Jim Butcher book!

Impressive on his part--I've always been rather dazzled by the breadth of Fforde's imagination.

I've actually never yet read any Fforde -- I had only vaguely heard of him before, and then it was such a sore subject that I always felt it would be disloyal. :-} I should put some on the library list.
